Moncler and Mercedes-Benz Present the G-Class Past II Future

— October 22, 2024 — Autos
Mercedes-Benz works in collaboration with Moncler to create the limited-edition G-Class Past II Future which made its debut to the public in Shanghai as a part of the City of Genius show. This project was left by fashion designer NIGO -- he reimaged the iconic automobile with attention paid to Moncler's aesthetic. The design blends heritage in a seamless manner with contemporary design.

The G-Class Past II Future celebrates where it comes from with inspiration drawn from the restored 1990s G-Wagon. The exterior is refined with dual tones of grey and olive green before being accented with a quite matte black trim. As a slight pop of color, there are golden accents that elevate the look. Highlights include the custom rear-mounted rear wheel with branding accents.
